Da Vinci Code material

[Winter Nights]

So of course the DVC was a breakthrough for me because I could never go agasint my faith coming fron a Catholic background.

You're Catholic? I thought I was the only Catholic person here on Eyes on FF.

I thought about getting "The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail" by Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh. This was the one that took Dan Brown to court, Ive been told to avoid it because it doesnt shed anymore light on the matter because Dan Brown has explained most of it in DVC.

The one I thought would be good is "The Magdalene Legacy: The Jesus and Mary Bloodline Conspiracy - Revelations Beyond The Da Vinci Code" by Laurence Gardner. Ive been told to aviod that one because it was plainly rubbish.

Yes. Avoid those books. Anything that isn't written/approved by the pope that involves the Catholic religeon should be ignored.

So has anyone read either of these and can say anything positive or are there others out there that are better? It would help me because the Bible has always fasinated me, but I want to go beyond its "cover" story.

I haven't read them. If I did I wouldn't be Catholic anymore. Practically all Catholic books are better than the 2 you just mentioned above.

Just to note, it's not likely that you'll find any books on this subject that is approved by the pope. You pretty much just told her to stop researching the subject.

And think outside the box. There are other opinions out there, besides the popes. It's called "thinking for yourself".
